For the time being, No Man's Sky on PC runs slightly better than the console versions, the control system doesn't work very well with the mouse + keyboard combo, and that's about the only differences worthy of being mentioned. All the potential of the game and the disappointment are still there.

A.O.T.: Wings of Freedom raises the bar for the musou genre developed by Omega Force and Koei Tecmo. The game is interesting, albeit with some flaws, and has a unique identity that can be appreciated even if you're not a fan of the anime.

Hello Games created something truly new and unique: No Man's Sky manages to be the best videogaming experience in the recent years, and at the same time a huge disappointment for what it could have been. The first hours are simply amazing, and will probably be stuck in your memory for the rest of your life. After that, the supposedly thriving and procedural universe transforms into a cold and soulless repetition of landscapes and concepts. The videogames universe still has a lot to say, and probably this is the misstep we needed to understand that.

Eisenhorn: XENOS tells the beautiful and engaging story of the Inquisitor, as told in the Dan Abnett's novels, and that's about it. Everything else is mediocre and boring, including the level design and the combat system, flawed by the fact that it's been designed for mobile platforms.

The King of Fighters XIV is a huge game: fifty characters, a lot of modes and a robust, deep yet accessible combat system. It takes a while to get accustomed to the new 3D graphics (and the slight changes in the movement speed), but when you get the hang of it, you'll find yourself enjoying one of the most technical and rewarding fighting games of the last few months.

It won’t be remembered for its technical accomplishments, but the new installment in the Deus Ex series is a game full of attention to the detail and love for the players. The sophisticated cyberpunk atmospheres of the locations around the world offer the player the possibility to experiment with various gameplay approaches, which is always a good thing. The new Breach mode is fun but slightly flawed, and it probably won’t be your favourite.

The flaws of Metroid Prime: Federation Force become almost irrelevant if you play with friends, but are impossible to ignore if you play by yourself. The missions are varied enough and offer some unexpected twists, but the level design is rather dull, and some of the most iconic features of the Metroid saga are simply missing. Not a bad game per se, but not a great one either.

Bound is a visionary title, with a incredibly inspired art direction; unfortunately, the game has some gameplay flaws that prevent the player from fully enjoying the experience. It could have been something along the lines of Journey and Abzû, but it ends up being “just” a good game.

Black Desert Online has proven to be a real, nice surprise: an action title that hides a top-notch managerial, with tons of activities to keep you busy. It's a title worth to be tried, but only if you're ready to invest a lot of time, patience and dedication.

Without claims during the development, Headlander proves to be a Metroidvania with excellent core ideas and a lot of good vibrations. It's not so surprising as he seems in the first hours, but remains funny and engaging until the end.

The new episodic adventure from Telltale offers some welcome (some might say necessary) changes to the gameplay, and a revamped graphics engine (unfortunately not a new one). At its core, the “Telltale formula” still works well, and the choices we make during the game create a real and meaningful connection with the characters. The story is the best part, though, and it could really be a game changer for the Caped Crusader.

Abzu is a videogame to love, live and relive. If you loved Journey, this new masterpiece from Matt Nava will astonish you, and will make your eyes sparkle. An underwater adventure that can be enjoyed on many levels, a love letter to the ocean and its wonderful seascapes. Not everyone will love it, but those who do will cherish the memories for the rest of their lives.

Beautiful, fun, too expensive. Creative Assembly polishes the original gameplay and creates a nice and exciting mini-campaign, without taking any risk. An excellent result, overall.

Fallout Shelter is a pretty nice game for mobile devices. The same cannot be said for the PC version, troubled by a complicated installation process, a control scheme too much "mobile-oriented" and the lack of a cross-save feature. But it's free, so it may be worth a try.

ADR1FT on PS4 confirms its nature of highly spectacular orbital exploration experience, but also remains limited in length, plot and game's mechanics. And the lack of a virtual reality console version will be a pity, in the near launch of PS VR.

Necropolis is a mix of action-oriented dungeon crawler and souls-like's combat. The game is intriguing as we thought, but the variety and depth of settings and enemies paradoxically remain confined to a small range of creativity.

A good idea, ruined by a very low longevity and a few camera problems. What a pity.

A more incisive screenplay could have made I Am Setsuna a memorable product. Despite this, the game is an enjoyable and an old-school J-RPG game.

A tough game, full of good action but also with a lot of trial and error inside. If you are not afraid of going through exhausting boss battles, then do not hesitate.

Carmageddon: Max Damage tries really hard to bring back the memories of the weird, yet successful Stainless Games series. Unfortunately, it reaches the goal: the gameplay is almost identical to the original (with very few fresh ideas), the AI is as bad as before, and the technical quality is definitely subpar. A mediocre game that will probably please the fans of Max Damage, and just them.

The third DLC of Black Ops III offers the most deliciously "pulp" zombie chapter of the Origins saga, together with a couple of good maps. Probably not the best DLC ever, but an expansion that will make the Call of Duty fans happy.

Adventures of Mana is a low-budget title that will appease all the fans of vintage RPGs. For a game that should have celebrated the 25th anniversary of Mystic Quest (Game Boy), it could have been much, much better.

Generations is one of the best chapters of the Monster Hunter saga, a game that will please newcomers and fans in equal measure, thanks to the introductions of arts and styles. A bold step in the right direction, a more than welcome breath of fresh air.

You need to be in the right mood to fully enjoy something as peculiar as Inside. Take a deep breath, enjoy the silence, embrace the suspension of disbelief, and you'll be in for one of the finest treats of 2016.

Bandai Namco and CyberConnect2 tried really hard to create something new. Despite the good fan service, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven doesn't manage to emerge from the many anime tie-ins released in these past few years. Good for a fun evening with friends, bound to be forgotten as soon as the last guest leaves the house.

An incredible and endearing journey through the mysteries of the alien planet Gliese-6143-C, the last hope for mankind. There are some problems with the interface and the writers drags the last chapter a little bit out, but overall it's a journey worth being experienced.

With its beautiful, challenging and procedurally generated dungeons, Underground offers a lot of new content for the Agents of the Division and, at the same time, lays the foundation for the future expansions of this unconventional online ARPG.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens learned from the mistakes and delivers the best LEGO videogame so far, and one truly fine Star Wars tie-in. A real new beginning for the franchise, with a lot of new ideas, and the usual set of characters and unlockables that will keep the players busy for a long time.

The 2016 edition of Pro Cycling Manager picks up where the previous chapters left off, for better or worse, with the complete simulation of competitive cycling and a realistic depiction of the races. If you're a fan of this sport, there's nothing not to be liked here.

Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival is an affront to the memory of the original product: a bad game from every point of view.

A clumsy attempt by Square Enix to reach the heights of the first three chapters, but the lack of personality and boldness, together with some technical issues and slightly flawed gameplay, make this fifth installment a game for hardcore fans only.

The Technomancer has an original setting and some peculiar narrative premises, but the story develops in an unoriginal way, and the RPG gameplay dynamics are pretty weak, repetitive and sometimes inconsistent.The Technomancer has an original setting and some peculiar narrative premises, but the story develops in an unoriginal way, and the RPG gameplay dynamics are pretty weak, repetitive and sometimes inconsistent.

Were all the remastered so beautiful, we would be truly happy. Odin Spere: Leifthrasir, beyond being unpronounceable, improves the original in every possible way, from the combat system to the graphics. The result is simply breathtaking, perfect for newcomers as well as for fans of the original.

Hearts of Iron IV throws the player in the midst of the WWII, offering a deep gameplay and a spectacular freedom. There are still some things than can be polished and improved (AI above all), but Paradox laid the foundation for one of the greatest strategic titles ever produced.

This is probably the last chapter of the Olympic series on Wii U, and it comes packed with a lot of revamped minigames and numerous occasion to have fun with friends and family. You won't probably play it a lot after the Olympic fever is over, though.

Despite being designed as a cross-over, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is an enjoyable J-RPG with a steady identity, that could have benefited from a more passionate writing and a less stereotyped cast of characters.

The main idea behind Trials of the Blood Dragon is absolutely fantastic, but the execution is not equally well developed. The game is a confused jumble of levels and situations, where only the levels with the bike are worthy of your time. For hardcore fans of the Trials series only.

The last tactical RPG from Tomohiko Deguchi deserves to be explored thoroughly, thanks to its variety of situations and the deep gameplay. The PS4 and PS Vita versions are almost identical, with cross-play support.

Deadlight: Director's Cut is a beautiful and enjoyable game, although a little short and with a taste for trial & error. Highly recommended if you didn't play the original version, published four years ago on PC and Xbox 360.

Color us not impressed: despite being delayed numerous times, Mighty no. 9 is a derivative, short and technically mediocre game. Recommended only if you truly miss Mega Man, and if you already played other (and better) tributes like Shovel Knight.

Valentino Rossi The Game is the best videogame by Milestone so far, full of things to do and a good physical engine under the hood. Some issues still need to be fixed, but the overall vision (from the previous MotoGP games) is preserved, and even enhanced. Give it a chance.

Atelier Sophie represents a new identity for the series. A self-pilot episode, that tries to capture the interest of a new fanbase. Good, but we would have preferred a more challenging game.

This new installment of the Skylanders franchise relies upon a solid and deep collectible card game. There are some interesting ideas here and there, unfortunately ruined by some over-simplifications in the design, that ultimately make the game a little boring.

Eight years after, unlike the always on-the-run Faith Connors, Mirror's Edge finds itself in the same, exact place we left it. Unfortunately, DICE promised something more. Like the original, Catalyst is the ultimate expression of virtual parkour, but it never manages to create a real connection with the player.

Behind its gorgeous and appealing graphics, One Piece: Burning Blood conceals a coarse, unbalanced, slow and unfairly punitive gameplay. Probably it would have been wiser to delay its release to fix the obvious flaws in its design.

When it first came out almost five years ago, Hard Reset was a pretty standard old-school shooter, with decent gameplay and a generic sci-fi atmosphere. The Remastered version does not improve a lot; the new katana in particular is pretty useless, if not detrimental, to the gameplay, and the graphics improvements are negligible.

The one thing not lacking in this Definitive Edition of Dead Island is the content. Unfortunately, it's the same as some years ago, and if you already played it, there's no real reason to do so again.

Overwatch is a fast-paced, varied, incredibly fun competitive shooter, and that's a given. There are some balancing issues, nothing that cannot be fixed in the next few weeks, but the main problem of the game Blizzard is the lack of content sufficient for the player to keep coming back.

Aesthetically faithful to the original, the new TMNT game is a beat'em up that unfortunately falls shorts in every other aspect. We honestly expected more from Platinum Games, but we cannot ignore the chaotic combat system, a ludicrous longevity, and a soporific level design.

Kirby Robobot relies on creativity and a "think out of the box" philosophy, adorned with jolly and light-hearted aesthetics. Unfortunately, it's almost too easy to complete the game, especially if you played your fair share of platformers. It's a game that will probably appeal the younger (and less experienced) player.

Far Harbor is the best DLC ever released for Fallout 4. With its blend of traditional sci-fi and horror, this expansion rewrites the world of Fallout, with more than 12 hours of new content, a living and captivating new area to explore, and some intriguing characters to interact with.

After the console versions (PS3, PS4, PS Vita), this new porting of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD is definitely the best one available. Whether you love it or hate it, this is the version you need if you want to (re)play the adventures of Tidus and Yuna.

We were expecting nothing less, considering how good the previous DLC was, but Blood & Wine is really wonderful in every sense. The game world is huge and rich, and Geralt is more powerful than ever, with new items and talents. Another excellent work from CD Projekt.

Total War: Warhammer is an excellent beginning for the new franchise from SEGA. You can see the game as a traditional Total War on steroids, where everything is more powerful and more spectacular. The gameplay changes drastically depending on the race you choose, and that's a really nice addition for everyone eager to experiment a little bit, or for newcomers to the series.

Frozenbyte tries to deliver a stealth game with some unique gameplay dynamics, but it falls tremendously short: the AI is awful, the controls are inaccurate and awkward. The main gameplay feature, i.e. the idea of the time moving only when the player moves, simply doesn't work. A real missed opportunity.

The DOOM guy is back, and he’s pissed. Brutal, uber-violent and adrenaline-pumping, the reboot of one of the most iconic games of the ‘90s is a truly excellent game. The gameplay blends “old-school” and “new-school” mechanics in such a way that it actually paves a new road for the entire FPS genre. The built-in editor SnapMap is the cherry on top, something that will allow gamers to keep playing DOOM in the upcoming months. Unfortunately, the multiplayer is not that inspired, and probably the weakest part of the package.

The tormented development of Homefront: The Revolution shows in gameplay that is far from perfect, and ruined by a myriad of bugs. The urban scenery is quite varied, there are some good ideas in the weaponry and the gadgets departments, but this is a game we can recommend only to fans of the peculiar, dystopic setting.

Shadow of the Beast is a genuine tribute to a timeless classic, that manages to capture the original vision of Martin Edmondson, including some flaws here and there (like the disappointing bosses and some dull maps).

Stellaris is almost as big as the universe itself, at the point that you risk losing yourself in a galaxy of info, menus and gameplay possibilities. The new game from Paradox is truly captivating and challenging, despite some minor issues (especially with the AI). Stellaris is a new star, bound to grow bigger and bigger over time.

Fire Emblem Fates is divided into three different campaigns (the least interesting of which is Legacy, designed to explain the core mechanics to the newcomers), and it offers a great experience overall, probably the best in the entire saga. Recommended to anyone, unless you have a serious idiosyncrasy for the Japanese tactical genre.

Despite a good general quality, it's our duty to report that this remastered is just a direct porting of the cheapest PC version, without any addition: beware before you spend your money on it.

The gameplay dynamics of TASTEE are pretty much the same as Frozen Synapse, which is definitely a good thing, together with a cartoonish art direction and a user-friendly UI. The main campaign is a good challenge for everyone, but the best comes with the multiplayer modes.

Some minor balancing issues aside, Battleborn is a pretty good title: the gameplay is solid and fun, the roster of characters is rich and guarantees a lot of variety in combat, and the multiplayer modes will keep you entertained. The real problem, here, is the lack of a true, genuine personality that would allow it to rise above its competitors.

Hands down, Uncharted 4 is the best title ever developed by Naughty Dog, and not just because of the stunning graphics. A wonderful balance between storytelling and gameplay, even better than the previous installments, pushing the boundaries of engagement and sheer fun. There’s no better way to say it: if you own a PlayStation 4, you must play this game.

Once Upon a Climb is the new installment of a series that started big, stumbled in the second episode, and rose again in this third episode. A few puzzles, a lot of humour, some occasions for deeper thoughts, and excellent writing and dialogues. Good work, The Odd Gentlemen.

Stories is a game you can easily fall in love with, though it doesn't invent anything new. The way it mixes and entwines the paths of destiny and its peculiar storytelling top the linear gameplay. An interesting concept, well implemented.

We all love Michonne, and it hurts to see her in a modest game like this one. She surely deserved better: a more engaging and less predictable story, a cast of characters you could really care about, and a less sloppy production. Definitely a misstep for Telltale.

Sapienza is better than the first episode and corrects some of the issues (poor technical execution and a buggy interface) that afflicted the previous appearance of Agent 47. Can't wait for the next one.

Despite an imperfect narration and a lack of longevity, P-O-L-L-E-N provides us with astonishing scenarios (in VR, and with "normal" monitors as well) and suggestions inspired by some masterpieces of the sci-fi literature.

This second DLC introduces four decent multiplayer maps and a new chapter of the zombie campaign that will please everyone who's been following the adventures of Dempsey, Nikolai, Edward and Takeo. We would have expected something more daring in terms of level design and something new for the Specialists. Guess we'll have to wait.

Star Fox Guard is a real-time tower defense, with the crazy Japanese touch that you can expect from a Nintendo product. The game proves to be very original, challenging and addictive; the level editor paves the road for infinite replayability, and the price is absolutely right.

The developers of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada openly wanted to create a videogame with a feeling as close as possible to the original board game, and to that extent, their goal is achieved. The single player campaign feesl a little bit repetitive from time to time, but overall, fans of strategy games and Warhammer 40.000 will be more than pleased.

Yo-kai Watch is a story-driven JRPG with one of the funniest, detailed and rich universes we've ever played, with a tons of quests and secrets waiting to be discovered. Be sure to wear your nostalgic shorts, before jumping in the life of a kid who's about to live the most exciting adventure of his life.

Star Fox Zero is an excellent shoot'em up, but at the same time an intimate tribute to an era where high scores and fun for fun's sake were king. The game offers solid gameplay, good variety and a frantic pace. A title that deserves a place in every Wii U owner's house.

The Banner Saga 2 is the worthy sequel to one of the most acclaimed titles of 2014. The core of the game remains the same, further improved by a lot of new additions and tweaks to the gameplay. On top of that, the art direction and the soundtrack are simply amazing.

If you look past an imperfect combat system, you'll find that the first game created by Heart Machine (a one-man software house) has sophisticated gameplay, and a level design that encourages the player to explore every nook and cranny, slowly revealing what a real gem it actually is.

Behind a sapphic story, Nights of Azure hides a pretty standard hack'n'slash. Not too good, not too bad, definitely not something you'll remember over the years. Gust should've had the guts to try something bolder.

Ratchet & Clank boisterously raises the bar for all the remakes to come: a lot of new planets to explore, new weapons, and a wonderful and uber-polished porting. A genuinely fun experience from start to finish, one we definitely recommend to all PS4 owners.

Despite some minor flaws, MXGP2 provides one of the best experiences in the motorbikes racing genre. Be sure to activate the first person camera and the "pro" physics, and you'll be in for a real treat, made of a genuinely fun and thrilling gameplay.

This new release of The Witch and the Hundred Knight is just a mere porting of the PS3 version, with no discernible improvement, neither for graphics nor for gameplay. It could have been a good opportunity to revive the series, but unfortunately it is not.

This fifth installment of the Mario & Sonic series is a nice multi-event sports title, although a little too easy for an experienced gamer. It's pretty clear that the targeted audience is younger gamers, and they'll have a lot of fun, thanks to the eye-candy graphics, the local multiplayer (not online, though) and a roster of well-known and loved characters.

Easy to learn, difficult to master, UFC 2 is undoubtedly the best MMA game around. Sometimes the gameplay is a little unbalanced and the career could have been more energetic, but technically the game is impressive, with a deep and rewarding gameplay, and it always delivers a fun experience.

We couldn't have hoped for a better conclusion to the Dark Souls trilogy. Miyazaki-san was able to give the fans the most gorgeous souls-like experience ever, despite some frame rate issues that affect the console versions.

If possible, this second episode is even worse than the previous one. The well-oiled Telltale formula is getting old, but something else must have gone wrong, this time, because the story fails completely to engage the player or make him real anxious, and the "difficult" choices aren't difficult at all.

Adr1ft can be enjoyed on a "traditional" PC, and it's still a nice, not particularly challenging and pretty short, sci-fi adventure title. If you play it with Oculus VR, though, you can expect one of the most compelling VR experiences, probably the closest you can get to a real walk in the space, at zero gravity. [Tested with and without Oculus Rift]

Time paradoxes are always a slippery slope, but Remedy manages to play with them without getting entangled in some quirky and frail plot twist. Unexpectedly, the union between videogame and TV works great; the same cannot be said for the shooting sequences, with some design flaws that can ruin a generally more than enjoyable experience. If you own an Xbox One, Quantum Break should be a part of your collection.

An horror adventure dull, boring, and technically modest. It manages to create a bit of suspense, but the gameplay is too repetitive to really captivate the player.

Albeit some polishing issues and some questionable design choices, Salt and Sanctuary is a nice, bidimensional variation of the "souls-like" formula, with influences from Hidetaka Miyazaki and from the metroidvania genre. If you like a challenging, punishing yet rewarding experience, you should definitely give it a try.

Day of the Tentacle is one of the best graphic adventures of all times. The game is a truly unique gem, full of humour, insane puzzles and an incredible voice-over. This Remastered version delivers stunning hi-res graphics, audio commentary, improved interface and controls (not suitable for gamepads), while keeping intact the original spirit. A must-have for all the adventurers out there.

DiRT Rally is probably the best rally simulation ever made, and its debut on console strengthens the good driving model developed by Codemasters. The gameplay is incredibly deep, challenging and realistic, the controls are precise and smooth (even with a gamepad), and the game never goes below the 60 frames per second. A truly unique driving experience.

This new DLC for the post-apocalyptic RPG from Bethesda had a lot of potential, more than it actually proved to have. It's not bad, it's simply a work well done, without anything that truly shines or makes it better than the original game.

Hyrule Warriors Legends is a good representative of the musou genre, even in the solid library of musou titles available on Nintendo 3DS. If you already played the Wii U version, you'll find enough improvements here to keep you entertained.

TrackMania Turbo runs faster than ever, in the best iteration of the series. The cliche "Easy to pick up, hard to master" never made more sense: incredibly fun, challenging and addictive, the only reason you should avoid it is if you really hate racing games.

The Division is a fun and challenging game, whether you're playing it alone or with some friends, but it requires a certain degree of commitment to be truly appreciated. The gameplay is complex, deep and incredibly rewarding, although some things need to be fixed (i.e., the flawed respawn system). And the infected New York created by Ubisoft is simply wonderful to behold and explore.

Pokkén Tournament is a competent spin-off, mixing the charm of the Pokémon series with the immediacy of a good beat'em up. An unusual combination, we have to admit, but a pretty convincing one.

The Guest is a somehow fascinating adventure, despite a short playtime and a story not on par with its excellent puzzles, reminiscences of the great classics of the past.

Agent 47 is always a charismatic character, and this first episode offers a lot of opportunities to the player willing to seize them. Sadly, the most dangerous enemies of the bold assassin are a poor technical execution and a buggy interface.

This new adventure game from Wadjet Eye is a small, retro-looking gem. Not so difficult to play (especially if you're a fan of the genre), it tells a great, captivating and deep story, set in a dramatic dystopia, that will stay in your heart for a long, long time.
